Q: I selected Spotter voice other than Jim, but I still hear most messages announced by Jim.A: Spotter voice is only used for spotting messages (car left/right, clear etc). In real life races, Spotter and Chief are different people, one is sitting somewhere high (observing the race) and Chief is usually in boxes. When you select different Spotter voice, the Chief is still Jim.

Q: where does Crew Chief store sound files?A: Most often: c:\Users\[your_login_name]\AppData\Local\CrewChiefV4\sounds\
Note1:AppData is hidden by default - change your Folder options to show hidden files and folders
Note2: it can be on different drive than c:, in fact even different path. Check USERPROFILE environment variable

Q: Crew Chief announces "your time is best in your class", why?A: Probably, because it considers current race a multi-class race, and compares your lap time to the lap time of an opponent in the same vehicle class. If you don't think that's correct, you are probably running a mod (or official content CC is not aware of) and you need to map all in race vehicle classes to a single CC Car Class.

Q: How can I start Crew Chief from the command line?A: To select the game in CC from the command line, pass one of those parameters:
RACE_ROOM, PCARS2, PCARS_64BIT, PCARS_32BIT, PCARS_NETWORK, PCARS2_NETWORK, RF1, ASSETTO_64BIT, ASSETTO_32BIT, RF2, IRACING
To make CC automatically start using this selection, use "run_immediate" Preference option.

Q: I need a sound pack for my language, can I record it?A: Crew Chief is an open source project, we can't stop you from creating a sound pack for it if you would like to do that. However, it is a large commitment. Before beginning, it is worth checking c:\Users\[your_login_name]\AppData\Local\CrewChiefV4\sounds\ for the scale of work involved, to see if you can commit to the work. Every sound in CC is human recorded and edited by Jim Britton (mr_belowski). Also, keep in mind that application is evolving, so the pack will need maintenance.

Depending on how different sentence/number formatting is in Your language, it might require code changes to the Crew Chief. Depending on how much work it is we may or may not be able to help.
